Patch is a stunning Harlequin gem. She is a laid-back lap cat who was left behind because her previous owners were "just too busy". Nonsense, Patch demands so little yet is willing to share so much.

Susie is a beautiful, loving 4-year-old domestic shorthaired cat very much in need of a lap to cuddle on. She is in the 'Seniors to Seniors' program and loves being with her human more than anything, preferring to be the only furry family member. Her ear flaps were removed when she was young to keep her ears healthy, which gives her a very exotic look. To learn more about Susie or the other animals at the Jasper Animal Rescue Mission, call 726-7799 or go to www.jarmission.org .

Marc Anthony is a green-eyed Shepherd mix male puppy about 12 weeks old. Gentle and very laid back, this boy is good with children and all other dogs. Meet him at Maranatha Farm by calling 816-6676 or go to www.maranathafarm.org.

Baron is a handsome 3-year-old Shepherd. He was left at a rural South Carolina shelter but was in need of extensive medical care so they brought him to our shelter. Baron had an old leg fracture that couldn't be repair so we had to remove his leg. He has adapted beautifully and is ready to move on. He will need regular exercise to keep in shape so he would love a family that enjoys long walks. For more information on Baron or any of the animals at the Hilton Head Humane Association, call 681-8686 or go to www.hhhumane.org

Sweet Belle is a 7-year-old beautiful pitbull/Staffordshire terrier that was hit by a car in Dekalb County. She was taken to the emergency clinic where it was determined she has head trauma, multiple lacerations and was all broken up in her rear end. She was waiting for someone to get her, but that never happened so she was scheduled to be euthanized. We took her into our care and got her healthy in a long way of healing. Now she is a pain free, all-happy small girl that gives smiles and kisses all day long. She is able to use all her legs but has a weak back so she should be the only animal in the household.

Nestle is a 5- to 6-month-old Shar-Pei/Lab mix. A kind hearted man picked him and his sister up when they were walking alone along a busy street. Nobody came through for them. His sister was adopted out and Nestle was left again and getting depressed. We took him in to make sure that this wonderful puppy learns to be a puppy again, gets lots of TLC and emotional healing. He is doing great. Happy, healthy, loves life and everybody.

Ozzie, a sweet older dog, has been subjected to a life of sheer horror. He is a 10-plus-year-old, blind Cocker that was abandoned behind a shopping center in Decatur, Ga., in an old wire kennel. He was in the kennel with the remains of another cocker. The other cocker had been dead for some time and had begun to decompose. This sweet dog deserves a life without suffering and a place where someone is looking after him. He doesn’t even know what it feels like to be free and loved. Ozzie is healthy senior looking for the perfect couch to rest his head. He gets along with other dogs and loves people. He doesn’t like cats.

Sukie is a 1 ½ - to 2-year-old black and white Lab/Boxer mix. He was run over by a car and needed one of his front legs amputated. The owner did not get him any treatment and was charged with animal cruelty. Sukie’s front left foot was completely mangled and destroyed. He was in incredible pain for three days and the owner did nothing. He is an incredibly sweet dog that does not have one mean bone in his body. He learned to do just fine on three legs and loves to play and run. He is a great family pet and gets along with everybody. He is happy and healthy.

Gypsy is a 2- to 3-year-old Golden Retriever/Chow mix. She was trapped by good Samaritans that were trying to catch another dog they had seen that needed medical care. She was found in an abandoned burned down restaurant. She is not aggressive at all, just scared and still a little shy in new situations and with new people. Every time we look into those big eyes of hers, we just want to wrap our arms around her and let her know that the worst is over and that she is safe now. She is healthy and would make some family a great new member. She loves people, kids and other dogs.
